Sep-Oct 2019 | Nominations Western Africa in French

[Wim, French Readings]

Here you can nominate books that were first published in French by authors from Western Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal & Togo). Try to keep nominations to one per person - and you're welcome to second someone else's nomination.

In order to allow a maximum of people to join, easy reads are preferred! As well as books that are easily accessible.

Nominations will be closing in the first week of August.

Authors! Please note : Self-nomination is not allowed - but if you are an author and would like to promote your book, please feel free to do so in this folder. Thank you for your understanding!

I would like to nominate Cola Cola Jazz by Kangni Alem (Togo)

[Laura]

I second Valerie's nomination! always wanted to read a book by an author from Togo

About to make the poll for this Sep/Oct read in French, I see we only have two nominations.
What shall we do? Read both? Vote among these two? Or should we allow for some more nominations, until next Monday morning?

[Valerie]

I think we can extend the nomination process until next Monday.

Just for the fun of it: I'd like to nominate Loin de mon père by Véronique Tadjo and would like to second Wim's nomination.

[Wim, French Readings]

Thank you Orgeluse, for your nomination!
As suggested, we'll close nominations on Monday morning.
